On Wednesday, US Senator Elizabeth Warren called for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) watchdog to investigate whether the Donald Trump administration profited from dropping crypto enforcement against the likes of Justin Sun, Binance, and Coinbase.  In a letter to the SEC’s Inspector General Deborah Jeffrey — who is responsible for investigating “allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct involving SEC programs, operations, or personnel” — Warren asked if she could probe the agency, members of the White House, or anyone with direct ties to Trump’s family and business partners to find out if they influenced SEC crypto policy.

Image

Altcoins such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE) and Dogwifhat (WIF) have all risen on the charts after building a loyal following.

Is The Crypto Bear Market Finally Coming To An End?

Like birds of the same feather, well-established firms from the crypto space have collapsed one after the other this year. FTX’s downfall last month took the entire space by surprise. Evidently, the arrest of the exchange’s founder Sam Bankman-Fried was cheered by the people from the industry. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Tron founder Justin Sun acknowledged the same. Opining on the how the ongoing sluggish phase is perhaps coming to an end, Sun said, “I believe, first of all, the fall of FTX probably marks the end of the crypto bearish market.
